Item : B001CX4JSS Customer Reviews Love it so far by .. J. Irwin (San Diego) Been using for about 4 weeks now, and love it. I had never used electric before, and now cant imagine going back. I like the 2 speeds, as I prefer sensitive, as well as the compact size. Overall, I highly recommend Not very good by .. Larry L. Porta () Purchase this product because it was inexpensive and because considered Pulsonic to be a good name. The product itself appears to be very advanced, with the sleek body and small footprint. The toothbrush comes with 2 heads. First head is a toothbrush and a second head is used for flossing. Evidently this item is made to quickly remove the toothbrush and install the flossing head. However, in practical application when I use the toothbrush the head keeps coming off. To the point that it makes the product unusable. Would not recommend this product to anyone. Looks good, but that's about it -- big disappointment by .. JK (Europe/USA) -----BACKGROUND and INTRO-------- This is my first negative review of any product on any website. After trying this toothbrush I had to vent my anger somwhere :-) My first elctric toothbrush was a Sonicare Advance, which lasted almost 7 years. It was big and chunky, it did clean very well, but when it finally died I wanted something more slender. After some online research, the Braun/Oral-b Pulsonic caught my eye. It is very slim and it costs a little less than a comparable product from Sonicare (like the Essence 5300). So after reading some positive reviews here on Amazon, I went ahead and ordered one. -----THE GIST OF IT--------- I'm surprised they even call this a sonic toothbrush (I think somebody already said that in their review here on Amazon). The head barely moves. It vibrates, but that's all it does. The bristles barely move, I mean barely. At first I thought the battery wasn't charged enough, so I charged it for 24 hours. Same thing -- vibration, but very little bristle movement. It's like taping a manual toothbrush to a cellphone set on vibrate. I brushed my teeth with it a couple of times, but unless you use it like a manual brush, there is very little cleaning done by this vibration. This wasn't a deffective unit. When you take the brush head off the handle you can see that the design simply doesn't allow for any movement other than vibreation. It's just a vibrating stick with a brush head attached. I started using a manual toothbrush again. -----ENDING------ Today I went to WalMart and bought the Sonicare E5300. It was $12 more than the Braun/Oral-b Pulsonic. It includes a travel case which I won't need anyway. Right out of the box, whith the low-battery indicator blinking, I was amazed. It really cleans much much much better than the Orbal-b. The bristles move really fast, instead of just sitting there vibrating. I was going to submit a negative review to Oral-b on the questionare form that came in the box, but when I went to the website, it said that they are no longer giving $10 gift cards for submitting a review, so I won't do it. They'll just have to look at their sales numbers and figure it out on their own. Lastly, I don't want to seem like a Sonicare fanatic. I really wanted this Braun/Oral-b to work. I used Braun electric shavers and they are really great. Other than looks, this toothbrush has no positive attributes. the best by .. K. Choate (Connecticu) This is the best toothbrush I've ever used! I have used the interplak and braun Oral B for years, but the level of cleaning I got was never as good at the gumline as it is with this product. In addition, there's clear benefit with respect to staining which has improved over my first few weeks of use. I love that this toothbrush is a reasonable size and holds charge long enough for me to use it on long trips. Also, it's a great value given its low price. Worse than a regular toothbrush by .. Fadelio (Atlanta, GA USA) This thing is junk. I've had the sonic 4100, the oral-b spinning head and the sonic advanced. I got this for trips. It is junk. It is not really a sonic toothbrush. It vibrates, but the WHOLE THING vibrates. The only thing that does not produce sufficient vibrations are the bristles on the toothbrush. In the instructions for good electric toothbrushes they tell you to hold the unit on your teeth. Not so with this junk thing. They tell you to brush like normal. It's like a glorified 5-dollar battery operated crest crapola. Don't buy at any price. Also, the 5-dollar battery operated one would be better because of the design flaw that this one has. The head does not stay on the unit. I would have expected better from Oral-B.
